We have 3 Heller 1800 units. They run great. Our building is 208 3ph. One of ours is running 480v, so we bought a transformer to convert. I am not familiar with the other oven you mentioned.

Typically - hand soldering as you are currently doing. Should your volume justify it you can invest in a selective soldering solution, these might take the form of a robotic arm that essentially replicates manual soldering or a solder jet similar to

Hi Marlyn, We use durastone pallets over a wave - so areas machined out so the solder can get to the pins but not the SMT. You can also get fancy selective solder machines, but I'm guessing that as you're asking you haven't got one. Hope that help

We are using OSP coated boards and no-clean solder paste. In a few instances, we are seeing increased distortion in an audio circuit. Has anybody seen or heard of surface insulation resistance (SIR) decreasing after reflow on OSP boards? Is it possib

Hey guys, Anybody having trouble with increased false contact issues in ICT after switching from lead to lead free? Our test guys keep trying to imply that the flux residues are a problem (we're using Alpha EF2202), but as the soldering process eng

Some amount of voiding was always seen on sites where solder paste is printed. These voids are much smaller. However the site where a flip chip is flux dipped has never had problems with voiding. Macro voids (and huge ones at that)across the board s

J Rose at EMPF says: The introduction of no-clean solder fluxes in electronics manufacturing has given rise to greater levels of solder balling simply because the opportunity to remove them in the wash process does not exist. They are typically cause

Water soluable fluxes are quite hydroscopic. If you keep RH below 50 percent, solder balling caused by humidity should be minimized.

Mike, To answer your question, Yes we have thru-hole parts on the boards that we converted to double-sided reflow, we use pallets to select solder the leads. I suppose Masking would work, but that's using a lot of mask. Can I ask, whats preventing

In general, it is safer to use a single alloy with a known composition and performance characteristics. If you need to change the alloy used in your selective soldering machine bath, it is advisable to consult with the manufacturer or a soldering exp
